GUTTER LITERATURE
The rise of "eutter literature" has
been astounding. Starting a few
years ago with small magazines that
attracted t great attention at first,
it soon became popular. More cheap
magazines were born, and then a far
sighted gentleman with athletic lean
ings began to really take advantage
of the fertile field. One after an
other, he brought out magazines of
the confession-tale type until now
the more-conservative magazines are
lost in a maze of screaming covers.
The magazines are carefully edit
ed; by that we mean they assiduous
ly avoid anything that might confuse
a moron. Their covers and titles
hold out the promise of erotic liter
ature that lures the boobs to buy
them.
If one must read erotic literature,
there is really much else that is not
only higher-powered, but that has al
so a literary value. But literary
value, unfortunately, is the last thing
the boobs desire.
The gutter literature, we are op
timistic enough to believe, has not
been exceedingly popular with stu
dents. It does make an appearance
here and there, but most of the stu
dents find little in it to amuse them.
Similar to this magazine slush is
much drivel put out in books by hack
writers who depend upon that meth
od to attract readers. Many books
have attained a tremendous popular
ity with the morons because they are
advertised as "daring." Usually
they are innocuous enough; the
Watch and Word Society and similar
uplift groups see to that. But the
boobs, having heard they were
"stories of shame," etc, devour them
behind locked doors.
Why people waste time on such
rot is at first puzzling. But, after
a little consideration, one realizes
that the literature is suited to the
mental capacity of the reader. One
cannot expect a person with a ten-
year old mental level to appreciate
the American Mercury or the For
syte Saga.
TRAFFIC
The jams and mixups into which
the clattering cars of the students
become involved at the noon rush
hoars are truly wonderful to behold.
Strings of cars, seemingly inextric
ably mixed, get out somehow and
roar on.
How accidents are avoided in such
jams is puzzling. The providence
that is supposed to protect drunks
and babes seems ta have also a
watching eye over the university stu
dents who drive cars.

THE NOISE OF A REWARD
(The Daily Illini)
Prof. W. J. Newlin of Amherst has
with preliminary blast of cow-horn,
given vent to the sporadic and illogi
cal plaints of what Mr. Sher
man described as the "ordinary pro
fessor." "In college," Prof. Newlin said,
"the man who makes Phi Beta is
permitted to wear a gold key which
he pays for himself. But the star
halfback of the season, along with
the rest of the team, is given a gold
football, carried off the field on the
shoulders of his friends, banqueted,
feted and lionized."
Prof. Newlin leaves us to imply
what we are loath to imply, to-wit.
that he believes the American peo
ple send their money in quantities
proportional to the importance of
the objects of their purchase. He
is old enough to know that they
don't. Prof. Newlin, it just isn't in
UQY

hope it rains. I want

the nature of things that a Fhi Beta
Kappa be treated as a star halfback.
The discrepancy between the treat
ment accorded the two men goes
deeper than football and Poll Sci 6,
it goes back to what we might with
full glowing phrase the Instincts of
Man. The football player does
something spectacular; he is given
a spectacular reward. The scholar
does something unobtrusive; he is
given an unobtrusive reword. Prof.
Newlin further intimates that the
value of the reward is measured by
its ostentation. If the professor is
a Phi Beta Kappa, would he trade
in his key and what it represents, for
a fete, a banquet and a lionization,
and what it represents? We doubt
it.
Men will always accord enthusias
tic recognition to feats of physical
prowess, and accord staid and digni
fied recognition to feats of intell
ectual prowess. The scholar does
not expect red fire and Roman can
dles. The value of a recognition is
not directly proportional to the
noise it makes.
"AN UNENDING THING"
. (McGill Daily)
"A college is an unending thing,
with a life and a continuity of its
own. Those of us who study and
work in it pass on, and the college
remains. All that we do or accomp
lish in it lives as a fragment added
to its history small but enduring."
So said Prof. Stephen Leacock in the
first issue of the "Fortnightly Re
view."
"A college is an enduring thing,"
exclaims Dr. Leacock rightly, but
what gives a college its permanence?
The obvious answer, correct yet in
complete, is tradition and the affec
tion of countless members of the
university. Without these, a college
would be merely a group of buildings
under one central control, with little
more continuity than that existing in
the preparatory schools of the ordi
nary city.
But the forces of tradition and
affection do not entirely account for
the permanence of a college. Some
thing more is needed to' transform
each year hordes of stranger fresh
men into ardent supporters and lov
ers of their Alma Mater. And this
factor is the service of those men
and women who devote their lives to
the welfare of the college. The un
dergraduate is apt to think that he
composes the university, forgfetful
of the fact that he receives much
more than he gives. Those whose
lives are spent in adding a fragment
small but enduring to the col
lege history seldom trouble to en
lighten the world as to the work they
accomplish in their several spheres,
but it is to them that much of the
credit for the continuity of a univer
sity is due.
And they themselves are not of
one class or group. They serve where
they are placed. There are the mem
bers of the executive organization,
spending their years in conducting
the business of the college. There
are the professors and lecturers, who
form the staff, and thereby mould
the feelings of the undergraduates
into permanent form, and there are
those in humbler positions, the port
ers, groundsmen, watchmen who in
clude in their ranks some of the most
ardent supporters of the university.
All too rarely uttered are words of
appreciation of those who labor in
the less spectacular walks of life
around the college. The men often
exhibit more faculty and class spirit
than many undergraduates, and, to

the majority of them, anyone who
adds to the glory and renown of the
college to which they belong is
hero indeed. On duty, or off, these
men carry with them a sense of loy
alty to the university that is worthy
of all praise.
TWO FRESHML.x
AMERICA "ON SKIIS
(Continued from Page One.)
is a ski jumper, and the villian tries
to be one. Everything was going
fine with them except one little
thing. That was the fact that the
regular hero could not jump ISO feet
on skis such as the picture called for
and the villain did not care to tumble
down a ski jump in the way of his
part.
The director, a well known man to
all movie goers, saw Hans doing his
practice jumps and he begged him to
do the jumping for the hero and
for the villain.
"But I don't know anything about
movies," Hans replied.
"That's alright," he was told. "A
lot of movie actors don't."
Refutea Pay
So Hans Troye, freshman at the.
University of Wisconsin, became
Hans Troye, movie hero and villain.
He refused the $150 they wanted to
give him. He was thinking of threo
more years of collegiate sport, not
of "Red" Grange.
"As the villain," he declared,
"they bought me one suit just like
the villain's; and a? the hero they
bought me another outfit like that
of the hero." Painted, bewhisker
ed and powdered he jumped for the
villain and fell. Painted in anoth
er way he flew through the air as the
hero and stood. Four cameras
clicked the while and four of the
prettiest girls in the world kissed him
when he was through.
"This movie stuff," he declares,
"is great sport."
One of the directors on the scene
had directed the "Lost World". He
told how they made the giant animals
in that play out of rubber one foot
high, how they pulled them with the
strings, and used strings to animate
them. It was all very quaint to a
pair of freshmen.
Both Are Modect
On the way home from New York
they encountered George Little, Wis
consin's athletic director, on the
train. He did not know who they
were, but shook hands with them
when he noticed their red Badger la
bel on the suitcase. But do you
suppose that the lads were brazen
enough to tell about their achieve
ments for Wisconsin. Not a bit of
it.
"I was afraid he might think we
were trying to brag," was the way
Troye explained it. George Little
will probably grin when he reads this.
Since returning the boys have
been much congratulated and feted.
One of them has been offered a sum
mer job with a popular campus
clothier. Fraternities have been
nice to them. Hans is wearing a
fraternity pledge pin.
"I'm going to get a date for the
Prom now," he says.
And that's the story of two Bad
ger freshmen who have just discov
ered America.

The Cleveland Artists' exhibition,
circulated by the American Federa
tion of Arts, has been hung in the

pies of the work of some of Amer
ica's best modern painters.
Among the artists whose work is
exhibited are; George G. Adomeit,
who has won prizes in the Cleveland
exhibition; Mary Susan Collins, a
painter who looks at her work from
a modern viewpoint and paints with
great breadth and strength; Oro Col-
man, who places emphasis on pattern
both in his pictures of landscape
and houses; William J. Eastman,
whose pictures in this exhibit show
very dramatic and restrained use of
color; William J. Edmonson, who has
served as juror at various all-American
shows; Carl F. Caertner, winner
of several prizes in the industrial
class of painting in Cleveland exhibK
tions; Emery Gellert, a Hungarian

erick G. Gottwald, one of the older
Cleveland artists; Henry G. Keller,
who has had successful exhibitions
in both New York and Paris; A. D.
Kennedy, who is especially interest
ed in flowers; Louise B. Maloney,
whose work represents the soundest
of the more modern attitude towards
painting; Norris Rahming, noted for
his decorative paintings; Sandor
Vago, one of the brilliant techni
cians; and Frank N. Wilcos, who ran
a special prize in a Cleveland ex
hibition for the maintained excel
lence of his work in all mediums.

The epidemic of traffic buttons
which is sweeping over Lincoln a

was installed in the automobile en

ground floor of the west stand is
used in part as the University gar
